Liveblogging the Convention

August 28th, 2008

Hah. Because I’m slacking on my political work, and I’m about to get back on it with a vengeance.

So Patrick Murphy is adorable (just got done, it’s 8:32). And now we’ve got Madeleine Albright. Nice intro music, Maddy.

“An assault advertised as a strike against terror,” eh?

8:39

Evan Bayh is a smarmy looking twit.

And boring.

8:58

Snooze. Where’s Biden? Or Bill? What did I miss?

9:01

Oh, guess we get Bill now. Thrillsville. Don’t be an ass, Billie.

9:04

Michelle Obama is terrible at hiding her feelings. How do you really feel about Bill, Michelle?

9:09

Bill, you are not convincing me. Hillary was better. Much better.

9:43

John Kerry is good. And he’s more forceful now than when he was running. I mean, damn, JK.

Awwww, Barack’s very old very white uncle, who helped liberate Buchenwald. He is adorable.

“When wrong, make it right.” Good one, Kerry.

10:18

Let’s talk about violence against women in reference to Joe Biden. Good one. And he’s being introduced by a woman of color. Good one that, too. (Plus, she’s good. After all these boring-ass white guys!) Don’t really need Joe Biden to represent women across this country though–would’ve preferred Janet Napolitano, thanks.

Ooooh, Nancy, lookin’ good!

(Joe Biden’s sons are kinda hot.)

10:47

Ok, Yahoo hates me. Anyway, now that I’m done sniffling because Joe Biden’s getting all fired up. Beau Biden, off to Iraq, made me cry. Yep, he did. And Joe Biden gives good attack speech. And he’s funny. Yeah, he’s another old white guy, but he’s sounding Ted Kennedyesque in a good way right now. (Oh, and Teddy totally made me cry. It’s that Massachusetts blood.)

Yay for equal pay for women. Thanks, Joe.

10:56

Hey, lookit, Barack!

I love watching Michelle’s face when he shows up. People who appear to be really in love make me smile. Make me less bitter for just a minute. (as opposed to the ten feet of space between Bill and Hill.)

Bruce!

Look at how tiny Teresa looks next to Michelle. And while we’re at it, look at Michelle. Not that anyone has a hard time looking at Michelle.

11:06

Is someone really invoking Hubert Humphrey as though that’s a good thing? F’real?

11:08

Why does everyone always misquote Toni Morrison’s “first black president” quote? She was talking about the way he was treated in reference to the impeachment/Lewinsky scandal, how sexualized representations and such were used against him, not his relationship with black Americans. And she endorsed Obama.

and on that note, it’s 11:11 and that’s a good time to go to sleep. Night.
